Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery does its job well in any type of environment. The possibilities of backing up different types of environments with VMs, SQL, File Servers and their restore and disaster recovery process are extremely useful for any company.

It has a reasonable cost of implementation so I don't think it is the best idea for backing up smaller companies or simpler operations. The cost benefit may not pay.

We are a cloud-only shop, so Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is a natural fit. We do not have a large Azure VM presence, so I do not know how well they play in that space. If you are not cloud-focused, I am not sure that Druva Data Resiliency Cloud's strengths will be easily seen. However, in the cloud they are tough to beat.

Pros
  • Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides complete auditing. Having worked with many products in the past, most fell short on reporting. In particular reporting on restores. Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery provides detailed information on operations that were performed, the account performing the operation and where was the data placed.
  • The flexibility of the product allows it to be more of a framework than a rigid application. By leveraging vendor specific API's, such as NetApp SnapVault/SnapMirror access, stronger integration and a more reliable service is produced. The workflow functionality and ability to utilize personal scripts helps administrators perform developer functions.
  • Support for aging technologies is a challenge for any large institution. Maintaining the ability to support old solutions, even in a limited capacity, is more desirable than bringing in a secondary solution or not support it at all.

  • We like the option of downloading backed up files both individually and as a group.
  • The ransomware protection is a security feature that puts our minds at ease when it comes to the safety of our data.
  • The Customer Success team does frequent reach outs and technical health checks.

Cons
  • For database restores, it has to restore the entire database in order to recover just one table.
  • Backups of virtual machines with direct attached storage is difficult.
  • I wish it covered cloud assets more thoroughly, like AWS ELBs and Security Groups.

  • Advanced Ransomware Recovery doesn't work for all Druva offerings, that would be a great feature to have.
  • The archiving feature could also offer more price flexibility.
  • Seating up the initial configurations can be a little tedious due to the length of the documentation involved.

It is serving it's purpose and for companies that have a smaller IT staff, it is not time consuming to manage. Support for the product when needed has been very good and they are responsive when tickets are opened for support. The product is scalable so as we grow we can easily increase the resources as needed on the backend.

This is the second company I've brought to Druva. Just today, I was tasked with recovering a file from a user that last saw it 6 months ago. I was able to restore it in under 5 minutes of getting the request. It's really that easy.

Usability
It's a 9 only because it is very complex to administer. It would be good if they could transform the management console to be more user friendly, while keeping its functionality and wide range of features. But it is a very complete tool, with a lot of fine adjustments to your backups, thresholds, policies, backup destinations. We're really satisfied with Commvault protecting our environment.

Usability is really high on my list when it comes to software/applications. As with all new technologies, there is a bit of a learning curve, but things are relatively easy to find. Occasionally you have to do a few extra clicks, but for the most part, it's quite user friendly and intuitive. You don't have to go a dozen levels deep to find what you're looking for - or at least the surface level issue.

Page response in the admin center is acceptable- rarely are we waiting for data to load. Backup speeds seem fine, and restore speeds are OK considering it's likely pulling data from cold storage. It often takes 30-60 seconds for the restore to begin transferring files, but speeds are acceptable thereafter

Support Rating
The real winner of this company and application is its staff of support engineers and the management. Seriously, I could hate the application and despise using it and would still subscribe and deploy 100% across the company. No other company works as hard for its users as Commvault. Having a solid application on top of this is more than anyone can ask for.

I can't downvote this facet on account of my never having to call upon Druva's Tech Support. Self-help is always my first port of call and the documentation provided by Druva has allowed me to proceed to a point where I can confidently use the system. Even without support, I trust the system implicitly. That said, I'm pretty sure if and when I need it, it'll be awesome.

Implementation Rating
Plan well and make sure you collect all the required information and details before going for implementation. Organize it in step by step or break the setup into different modules to make it simple.

Implementation from cloud ranger to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud platform was a seamless integration experience to upgrade the policies and license for continual backup/recovery support. This may be one of the best "set it and forget it" apps for backup solutions, that also allow notifications for failures etc...

Alternatives Considered
Many other backup and recovery platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. They might specialize in backing up VMs but fail to adequately backup Oracle databases, or do well in the cloud, but not so well on-premise. In my opinion, Commvault handles the variety of clients and situations in most enterprise datacenters the best with features for efficient and effective backup policies, such as deduplication for managing storage of backups and use of hardware and software snapshots to minimize impact to production storage and compute resources.

We also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our experience was better for what we got/needed.

Scalability

Read full review
As the product is cloud based within AWS, scaleability is unlimited. The on-premise units of scale are predictable and allow administrators to scale up / down as needed. In my experience, the flexibility around these appliances, allow organisations to vertically or horizontally scale the environment with confidence and ease. Conversely, it is possible to set thresholds to ensure that organisations do not over commit and manage budgets effectively.

Return on Investment
  • Disaster Recovery. We wouldn't be able to do it at all without Commvault.
  • We are looking continually for data management opportunities to use Commvault instead of other products. To date that hasn't been significant for us much as I personally would like to see inside our company.
Read full review
  • More importantly it reduced 60% of our operational overhead and time savings in maintaining the backups.
  • This also tremendously reduced the manual failures like deduplicating the backups and there were many cases it saved us 40% of our entire bill by taking point in time backups.
  • It saved 1000's of dollars when we used the DR plan and rolled a new infra in less than few minuted with less manpower and less time.
